Default suspension, how much will it help?

Im looking at buying some sub frames, panhard, LCA's, and a strut tower brace. I was wondering, is it worth it to put money there or buy another go fast part? Will these parts lower my 1/4 times at all, by just installing them?


thanks.

They will definitely help your 1/4 mile times. Put some relocation brackets on the control arms also to get a little more pressure on the rear end. A torque arm would be the next mod you want to do.

Strut tower brace is for cornering. In fact it won't do anything cause our strut towers are already stiff as hell. Torque arm and LCA's are the main components to get.
They won't directly make your car faster but they will allow you to push your car harder without spinning the tires.

STB helped me out a lot in the corners. Get the LCA and reloc. brackets first, then the SFC. I haven't put a TA on my car yet because I don't want to overstress the rearend.

They are great but you have to be careful from Bumbs on the road especialy if you have LT's
